[quote=Dice] it’s time to look ahead to the next giant leap for DICE – the release of Battlefield 3, powered by the mighty Frostbite 2 engine. Our goal is crystal clear: we’re going to build the best Battlefield game ever, and [i]we’ll do whatever it takes to make this the biggest launch in DICE’s history.[/i] [/quote]

[release][b]What do we know about Battlefield 3 so far?[/b]
[b] [i]General info:[/i] [/b]
The game ships on PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.
There is a limited edition of the game – it comes with 4 extra maps (including BF2's Strike at Karkand) along with assorted vehicles and weapons.
The game comes out fall 2011.
The people who purchased Medal of Honors limited edition gets to play the BF3 beta early
The game can use both Dx10 and Dx11 – not Dx9, and is incompatible with Windows XP.
Dice claims they have given extra care and attention to making the PC version extra awesome.
Prone returns!
The game will be running on the Frostbite 2 engine. You can view the estimated specs [url=http://enterbf3.com/battlefield-3-minimum-requirements.php]here[/url]
The game features a destructible environment.
The game is said to feature cutting edge graphics and animations unparalleled to any other FPS.
Dice claim it is one of the most immersive games in history.
The console versions, unlike the PC version, comes without a server browser.
[b] [i]Single player:[/i] [/b]
The game will ship with an actual story-driven single player and co-op campaign, not unlike the Bad Company series.
[b] [i]Multi player:[/i] [/b]
The game features fights in various locations, including Paris, Tehran and New York. Other locations in the middle east, USA and Europe are expected. Dice says there will be metropolitan downtowns, but also open vehicle friendly areas.
The console version features 24 player multiplayer battles. The PC version goes back to its roots with 64 players.
The game brings back jets, helicopters and features “an impressive lineup” of land, air and sea vehicles.
Prone is back! (Has to be mentioned twice)
You can drag fellow players into safety and mount your weapon almost anywhere on the terrain

^ I stick with that opinion ^

[*] A goddamn SDK
[*]Cool-looking water
[*]Uber customizable server creation[/list]

EDIT:
Some karlmarx dude said something like:
[quote]I left a comment on your profile saying "Under Single player in the BF3 thread you should write it will have 'reactive AI and pathfinding (which means possible bot support or maybe it just means good, unique AI for the campaign)'
you should also mention somewhere BF3 will have a profile system, like 1942 and BF2. " [/quote]
So I guess I should add that.
Not a PC exclusive, fix that.
[QUOTE=certified;27310641]Not a PC exclusive, fix that.[/QUOTE]
They already said that they would be giving PC special attention.
Also, I should mention that I am outraged that it won't support windows XP. If you need to make a stable OS unsupported to make it look like effort is going into your PC port, then I am just... Disappoint.
[QUOTE=certified;27310641]Not a PC exclusive, fix that.[/QUOTE]
Thanks. Fixed.
I thought they said there wouldn't be 64 player battles because of the engine.
[QUOTE=Fish_poke;27310667]They already said that they would be giving PC special attention.[/QUOTE]
So you are ignoring the fact it has been plainly said that BF3 was going to be a multi platform game?
Pleaaaaaaaaase let there be 64-player servers..
Or maybe 256.
[QUOTE]Infantry only on Karkand –unlimited hours of fun.[/QUOTE]
Wat
[QUOTE=nightlord;27310697]I thought they said there wouldn't be 64 player battles because of the engine.[/QUOTE]
Sooooource! If not, then I'm going to be quite angry at Dice. 64 players' where it at.
[QUOTE=Spetzaz;27310764]Sooooource! If not, then I'm going to be quite angry at Dice. 64 players' where it at.[/QUOTE]
40v40 has been thrown around, but I'm not sure they were official sources.
[QUOTE=certified;27310698]So you are ignoring the fact it has been plainly said that BF3 was going to be a multi platform game?[/QUOTE]
Are you mentally challenged?
What I'm looking at for BF3 is a VAST improvement in the netcode it will be using, also that it won't be anything like Bad Company. I want something close to the original please.
[QUOTE=CabooseRvB;27310711]Pleaaaaaaaaase let there be 64-player servers..
Or maybe 256.[/QUOTE]
Hahaha... any less than 64 will be a complete failure, seriously. One of the major points of battlefield is the player amount, if they don't rise it to at least 50x50 I'll be quite disappointed.
[QUOTE=Craftsman;27310794]Are you mentally challenged?[/QUOTE]
Nope, Are [i]you[/i] mentally challenged?
Special attention to PC =/= PC exclusive
[QUOTE=Kill001;27310717]Wat[/QUOTE]
It's just that if you find a server without frag spam it requires a lot of skill and it's immensely fun with a surprising amount of variation for it only being one mode, no vehicles and one map.

[QUOTE=certified;27310849]Nope, Are [i]you[/i] mentally challenged?

I think there's miscommunication here.
I'd be pissed if they don't add planes
[editline]9th January 2011[/editline]
Or 64 or more players
[QUOTE=certified;27310849]Nope, Are [i]you[/i] mentally challenged?

You clearly must be, because someone mentioning that the PC will be getting extra attention does not mean that the person ignores that it will be a multi platform title.
[QUOTE=Kill001;27310880]I'd be pissed if they don't add planes
[editline]9th January 2011[/editline]
Or 64 or more players[/QUOTE]
^ The essence of Battlefield. It must not be removed.
I will be pissed off if they don't release a SDK and claim "Our engine is too complicated to mod sorreh". Or at least leave it so it's modifiable by the great modders in the BF2 Community.
For fucks sake people.
They wouldn't be putting BF3 beta invites in the cases of console versions of MOH if it was a PC exclusive. It has been mentioned MANY times that BF3 would be multiplatform.
Now pull your heads out of your asses, put your hands on your keyboard/mouse, drop the "1337 h4rdc0r3 pc gamer attitude, and get ready for some hardcore battlefield that we have wanted since 2005.
[QUOTE=nightlord;27310697]I thought they said there wouldn't be 64 player battles because of the engine.[/QUOTE]
Oh god, thank god! That's only on the consoles. The source was "Official Xbox Magazine":
[img_thumb]http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/3389/badcoy20v20.jpg[/img_thumb]
Nothing has been told about the PC yet.
[QUOTE=certified;27310675]Also, I should mention that I am outraged that it won't support windows XP. If you need to make a stable OS unsupported to make it look like effort is going into your PC port, then I am just... Disappoint.[/QUOTE]
Still using an almost 10 year old OS eh? There's a reason that it won't be supported. It's outdated.
They must add the ability to play music from vehicles like in Bf:vietnam. That small addition was brilliant. The music should be from the time period the game's in ( If it's an 80's cold war shooter for example there should be songs like master of puppets or world of confusion ). But fortunate son and ride of valkyries would be included regardless of the time period.
And so begin the "dumbing" wars... I was just trying to tell you guys that it won't be a pc exclusive after Spetzaz made an innocent mistake in the OP.

That's where you take in use your months of training. In fact, playing as a Medic I had a 66:4 death ratio once.
L85 medic is best anti-sniper :buddy:
[QUOTE=certified;27311115]And so begin the "dumbing" wars... I was just trying to tell you guys that it won't be a pc exclusive after Spetzaz made an innocent mistake in the OP.[/QUOTE]
Yes the OP made a mistake. But you did to,"They already said that they would be giving PC special attention.", That does not mean he ignored the fact it is multiplatform. He was just stating that the PC will get more attention toward it since BF did Start out on the PC. Your the one that made the Mistake and your the one that needs to drop it because your going on about pointless bullshit.
[QUOTE=Kill001;27311249]L85 medic is best anti-sniper :buddy:[/QUOTE]
Just saying that is nostalgic. However, the weapon had an "unsure" feel. Some times it'd be accurate, some times it wouldn't, which is why once you get used to the G36-E it's simply better. (IMO.)
I also got to love the Scar-L as crazily as it sounds. I just like it.
